Tomorrow may be a big day for Pokemon Unite players because the game finally launches on mobile devices. Because the game launches on iOS and Android, it’ll be amid an outsized patch that will add many of the latest features to the game. Before tomorrow’s mobile launch, the Pokemon Unite development team has detailed this new patch and everything it’ll increase the game.
Full details are often found during a blog post on the Pokemon Unite website. There we learn that Tencent is streamlining the method of upgrading held items by introducing new in-game events. These events will give players access to super item enhancers, upgrading held items to level 30. Still, beyond that, Tencent said that it’s also made it easier for players to urge item enhancers generally.

This news is perhaps a relief for anyone worried about the pay-to-win nature of item enhancers and held items, albeit it doesn’t entirely fix the difficulty. In any case, we also learned that there’d be a replacement batch of held items added to the game tomorrow too, which Tencent hopes will shake up strategies.
Tomorrow’s patch also will add Unite Squads to the game, which sounds like Pokemon Unite’s version of clans. additionally, we’re getting a second battle pass with new cosmetic items – specifically, the second battle pass will feature “new Holowear with special visual effects.” Finally, this update will add support for multiple new languages (though apparently, we don’t get to understand what those languages are until tomorrow) alongside “some limited Spectator Mode features.”
So, between the improvements to item enhancement and the launch of some Spectator Mode features, Pokemon Unite is beginning to become a somewhat serious competitive game. You’ll inspect the trailer above to ascertain a number of these new additions in action (along with some gameplay footage with the upcoming Sylveon and Mamoswine), but otherwise, search for this new update to drop tomorrow.
